According to the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins hired Hickey after being turned down by New England Patriots exec Nick Caserio and Tennessee Titans VP of player personnel Lake Dawson.

“Both of those guys turned it down because they weren’t comfortable with the structure of the organization, which tells you a lot,” Tucker told SN host Rayven Tirado.

Jason Licht, recently hired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as GM, also reportedly turned down the Dolphins. Tucker said part of the concern stems from candidates not knowing if they’d have the power to replace coach Joe Philbin.

“If I’m a Dolphins fan, I’m concerned about the fact that this many people are turning down an opportunity,” Tucker said. “There’s only 32 GMs in the NFL and these guys are turning it down.”
